Oh man has it been a bad week. 
About 2 months ago I got a new 08 Honda Civic LX Sedan. I made a big mistake. If it weren’t for how uncomfortable the drivers seat is for me, I would be in love with the car. I’m 5′3″, so I’m pretty short. The drivers seat is not a power seat and therefore you can’t move the bottom of the seat (the part you actually sit on), but if I don’t tilt that part forward I’m going to go nuts for the rest of my 3 year lease. Long story short, does anyone out there know how I can do this???
I’ve asked if they can convert it to a power seat and they said no.
I’ve asked if they can rig it somehow to tilt forward, they said no.
I’ve tried to make a custom pillow that I could sit on that would help, but it didn’t work.
…going to the dealership today to talk to them face to face so they can understand how annoying this is… and see if they can somehow get me into a car with a power seat.
Rethinking the cell-phone April 21, 2008

OK, so now that I’m over my “everything causes cancer” mood, where I had decided that I was going to get rid of my cell phone…I’ve decided to keep it. My new cell phone plan, still with Sprint, but through the University actually ends up being pretty cheep and only about $15 more a month than a home land line would be. SOOOOOO, since it’s good to have in emergencies, I’ll keep it.
Chalk one more cell phone bill up to the Telecommunications industry. Grrrr!

So, I get kinda lost in the healthy-natural living crowd… lost like what they say just seems to make sense sometimes. I don’t really understand any of the science behind it, but they tell me (mercola.com) that my cell phone is increasing my chances of having brain cancer… like, a lot. Anyway, it got me thinking about how my $69.99/month “plan” magically turns into a $100 bill every month. It’s amazing, really, how many “fee’s” they can get away with taking onto your bill.
So, long story short, in my quest to live a more natural life in these very un-natural times, and to save some money in my very broke times… I’m turning my cell phone back in (for a fee of $150, of course) and going back to a good old home phone.
Now… I just have to sort out how Jude’s plastic bottles are killing her.
Ahhh, to be a Mom that cares is to be insane.
